Thank you for sharing. I am an nursing student, and to hear about a patient’s journey is very insightful.

In reply to Ember.

That’s funny Ember… 😉

My assistant has returned to her own home, but we have been the blessed recipients of some wonderful meals brought by friends. Tears of gratitude mixed in with the chicken and pasta! And sleeping has been pretty consistent thanks to a very nice pain relieving narcotic called Percocet– do you have that there? I have about a week’s left of those pills and think it will go fine without them. xoxo

Okay, I sent you a message a few days ago, saying: “‘Hope you are able to rest and to sleep, and that the pain is kept at bay as you heal.”
However, as it turns out, the person I sent it to was a copy-editor who also happens to be called Julie . . . I got in a muddle. She was surprised, but assumed I must have had a Word from the Lord and be speaking metaphorically . . .
So here I am now actually saying it to you in person – and it’s good to see in the pics that they made such a neat job of it, and it looks like you are being very ably cared for by both clinicians and Mrs Nisky.
May you be rested and all healed. xxx

In reply to Tauni.

I really needed this reminder today, Taun. However long it takes is however long it takes. You really went through a lot with your feet. I think you should teach a class on how you budget your energy, exactly. I’d love to know some practical details. Mrs. Nisky is home today so it’s just me today. I’m pretty slow, but am walking. And I’m being diligent about resting, elevating and icing too. I’d love to share a cup of tea with you too, Taun… xoxo

Hey Jules ~ so glad you are feeling better ~ off and on anyway :)! I had foot surgery on both of my feet, many years ago now, and had the VERY unrealistic expectation that I would be good as new just a few months down the road. When it did not happen when I though it should have I was so very disappointed. One of the toughest lessons I had to learn was how to “budget” my energy. It is however one of the best lessons I learned and still apply even though my feet are completely healed and good as new. Every time I walk and recognize it is without the horrible pain I used to have I say a short, but frequent, prayer of thanks. It took a full 18 months or so for me to be completely new again (with the exception of the re-broken foot from a car accident almost one year after my surgery). So, follow doctors’ orders, do your exercises, rest frequently, budget your energy and take your medicine, not necessarily always in that order though. I am sure Mrs. Nisky is taking very good care of everything else you need :). How is Sue doing? I have been praying for her as well. Much love to you my friend, I wish I was close by to share a cup of tea with you!! Take good care ~

In reply to Elizabeth. Hi Elizabeth...thank you for stopping by. I see a physical therapist for the first time today and am half excited, half dreading it. LOL. xoxo

So glad you’re recuperating well! Sweet to have your grand girl as your nurse. I loved your previous dream retirement post, too!
